An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-70461 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: RsyncProject rsync. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70461/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70461/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-70461","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-70461/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-70461","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2026-70461","AZL-95765","BELL-CVE-2026-70461","CLSA-2026-1792411866","CLSA-2026-1792425174","CLSA-2026-1792425300","CLSA-2026-1792580766","CLSA-2026-1792581690","CLSA-2026-1792582985","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-70461","ECHO-8386-f738-fade","GHSA-jhxm-j4mq-3fj4","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-70461","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-70461"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"rsync file synchronization","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can trigger a heap out-of-bounds write in rsync daemon via crafted files-from entries, potentially leading to code execution or service disruption.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"rsync","vendor":"samba"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"rsync 3.2.5 before 3.5.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to write one attacker-controlled byte past the end of a heap allocation by supplying a crafted files-from entry.
